appologies,

I mean functionality-is it easy to use(navigate)? easy on the eye?

It's a little grey! Also, I had to scroll down to see the bit in quotes below the bag. Your tabs are in a strange place too and there's a black strip at the top of the page and a thin one to the right is that deliberate?

Default On first glance

- the sideways writing jars a bit

- navigation switched from right to left, which confused me

- it's very grey

- front page is a waste - doesn't tell me anything really

- needs more pics

But mainly, I REALLY don't like the sideways writing for navigation - makes me work too hard

Sorry to be negative, but you did ask

I know what you are both saying.
I knew it wasnt going to be right first time, its this feedback that will help with the tweaks.
Something for the web designer to do!

Thanks for the feedback Emma/Nikki.

It's got to be said that I agree with the others here...

Sideways navigation makes my head hurt at the best of times, never mind have to deal with it moving from the right to the left.

I like the fact you've got your branding on pretty much every page but it never looks the same. Not sure if that was the intention but personally I've always felt it's best to keep things consistent.

Every page has a slightly different layout which can make it difficult for 'scanners' like me to quickly read the bits I want to on each page.

The 'About Us' page contains information on 'How to use your barney bag'. Would have thought that would be better on a seperate page?

The homepage does seem a little pointless, it would be good to have some form of content on there and also to have 'Home' within your (non sideways!) navigation so that people can get back to where they started.

Hope all that helps, let us know when you've made the changes!
